Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Freshwater; demersal; pH range: 7.2 - 8.0; dH range: 25 - ?. Subtropical; 18°C - 24°C (Ref. 2059)

Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri

Central America: Michoacán, Mexico. Probably extinct in the wild.

Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2059); 7.0 cm TL (female)

According to aquarists, the species prefers live food. Thought to be extinct in the wild as their spring area has been claimed. Males can be recognized by a notched anal fin. Live bearers producing 10-20 offspring and breed several times per year. Source: https://aquainfo.org/breeding-chapalichthys-pardalis/

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming Fec<100 per year, with several breeds of about 10 pups.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
